I am on my way to St. Louis, Missouri to spend a week teaching the postulants of our community. I’m looking forward to spending time with these future Daughters of St. Paul, as well as the unusually warm, sunny weather (certainly a break from Toronto’s gloomy chill!)

Life kind of overtook me in mid-February. I made a big writing deadline–or almost–I was a few days late! Then last week I was at Texas A & M for our Daughters of Saint Paul meeting for those sisters who serve as vocation directors all over the U.S. and Canada. As you can imagine, it’s [...]

I’m keeping up with a pretty intense writing schedule and finding that it’s quite do-able, juggling all the other stuff and a writing life. In the past, when I’ve done this much writing over several weeks, (a good 3-4 hours a day, pretty much going all-out, nonstop), I feel more like I’m the scene of [...]
